"My name is Triana. I have a Bachelors in English from Dallas Baptist University. I will graduate from the University of North Texas in May of 24 with my my MFA in English. I have been accepted into the PhD program at UNT and will continue my studies in English, focusing on Renaissance literature and rhetoric. I have a teaching certification in English 7-12th grade, as well as a certification in ESL grades K-12.

For the last year I have taught college First Year Writing at the University of North Texas. These courses are designed to help students understand how to write effectively. I have developed small groups for students to write together and have designed curriculum that allows me to effectively interact with students one on one both in the classroom and during office hours as needed. From Fall of 2018 until the spring of 2023 I was a high school English teacher, focusing mainly on 10th grade honors courses. I worked directly with students, but also tutored before and after school for students who needed additional assistance with their understanding of the presented material. Before that I homeschooled my children, teaching material from K-12th.

I believe that students learn best when they have a voice in their own learning. Most students understand where they are struggling, and if they are open and willing to learn then I believe it is my role as their teacher to give them all the materials they need to be successful. I am easy to reach and quick to respond. I look forward to working with both students and parents to help everyone be successful. Please reach out if you have any questions or if you would like to schedule a lesson." less...
